I mean really if theses teeth have so much wisdom why do we remove them? I think we should call them devil teeth. I have been putting of having mine removed for about 7 years now. I used every excuse under the sun, they aren't bothering me that bad, I'm pregnant, I'm nursing. I can't afford it, I don't have time to be out of commission for 3 days. You name it I used it as an excuse.

A few weekends ago they really started causing me pain so I pulled the rip cord faced my fears and had all 4 taken out this past Wednesday. I had full IV sedation, partly because my bottom wisdom teeth were badly impacted and mashing a nerve but mostly because I would have ran like a thief from the room!

Recover has been mostly crappy. As soon as I awoke from my happy place I realized our cable was out. Seriously what did I do to make karma hate me? I'd been DVRing & saving all these great trashy tv shows to watch while I was on bed rest. But nope! No tv or Internet for 3 days! So I spent the majority (3 1/2 hours) getting it all fixed this morning.

The pain I was say is still an 8 out of ten and I look like one of Alvin and the chipmunks girlfriends. But with a crap load of medication I can get the pain down to about a 4. So iv been high for about 36 hours now!

On a positive note I have gotten to see the best come out in my husband! He is an only child and care taking is not his strong suit. But he has really stepped up to the plate and been a great nurse and Mr. Mom. He has done school pick up and drop off and even after school activities. Of course I love it cause it reminds him that my "job" really is a lot of work.

Also my wonderful friend Melissa and crazy J brought me 3 containers of Berry Austin frozen yogurt which is awesome by the way and the perfect after oral surgery food!

And lastly I should be really skinny before Texas/OU weekend in Dallas next week!

Living Urban (as I'm calling it because it makes me feel cool) has made me realize we need a lot of activities for Campbell to do. I don't want us to suffer from closet fever and well I want her to have the opportunity to figure out what it is she likes and wants to pursue. Miss C is taking dance lessons, swim lessons and gymnastics. My ical is this crazy mom matrix keeping track of the where & when and what bag to pack! Here are some pictures from the first days.

So I a week late blogging this because as any mom can tell you the week of school starting back is just madness. And when you live in Austin it happen to also coincide with the start of UT Football which around here is my husbands version of Christmas day for 11 saturdays but more about that later, let's get back to this cuteness!

Since we moved we had to find a new school, we miss School in the Hills but the new school is growing on her. She is attending St. Davids Day School. The first day was a little ruff. She had no interest in waking up or getting dressed. The only thing that got her moving was that she got to pack her new lunch box and backpack. Once we arrived at school she was as charming as ever. She did not shed a tear just put her things away, told me she loved me and that she would see me later.

Sniff, Sniff once again it was me who had the much tufter time.

1st day outfit. It's hard to see but her shirt has a sequin guitar on it

And after school she got a great surprise for being brave on her first day from Ganny!
